Morning at SJR Middle School
Yesterday morning we hosted the annual Morning at SJR Middle School event for all incoming Grade 6 students and the current Grade 5 students. The students had an opportunity to spend time with their classmates for next year, ask their burning questions about what life is like in Middle School and get acquainted with the School during a scavenger hunt around campus. There was also a surprise meeting with our therapy dog, Uno, as they dropped into the counselling support office and learned the ways in which Ms. Roadley and Dr. Blahy can support them during their time at SJR. We hope all of the students enjoyed the morning!
SJR is proud to be accredited and affiliated with several local, national and international educational organizations.
St. John’s-Ravenscourt School was founded in 1820 principally to serve the children of the Selkirk settlers. By 1834 there were forty students, evenly split between boys and girls. SJR has inevitably grown and changed over the years since, though its success throughout has been unimpeachable. We have graduated 18 Rhodes scholars, for example, and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted patronage and established a scholarship in her name in 1981. Today the programs are as strong as our reputation. A strong academic program is paired with an equally strong attention to the values of stewardship, ethical leadership, and excellence in all areas of academic, social and athletic life.
